College Hoops Tournament Action on XM

The college basketball tournament action tips off on XM this Wednesday, March 8th, with the opening of the Big East and Pac-10 men’s basketball tournaments. The SEC, ACC, and Big Ten tournaments will open on Thursday, March 8th. 

Games will air on XM’s college sports play-by-play channels 191 through 201.
 
“For college hoops fans, it’s more than fifty games in five days,” said Kevin Straley, XM's VP of talk programming. “Displaced fans who live far away from their favorite schools can hear the tournaments on XM.”
 
On top of live coverage, XM Sports Nation (ch 144) will broadcast shows from Madison Square Garden in New York, the site of the Big East tournament, March 7-10. and the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, the site of the SEC tournament, March 8-11. Plus, XM Sports Nation will have on-air reporters at other tournament sites across the country.

This on-site coverage is part of a new series called "XM Sports Nation Total Access," which puts the listener in the middle of all the action, directly from the venue on the day of major sporting events.
